Painting Ornaments in August

Ready to paint ornaments again?  This week we will be painting the snowman on the left (taught by me) and Linda will teach a decoupage ornament.  Just bring your regular painting supplies (you will need a small scruffy brush), and pot luck to share with the group and be prepared to paint from 10 am - 3 pm.  Possibly even longer.  We will try to squeeze in three projects.  Lucy was planning to teach this month but she has been quite ill and will not be able to make it.  I know everyone had a good time last month painting with Margaret and making that cute angel with Crystal.  Thank you to both for volunteering your time to teach.  We all appreciate it so much.  Just as a reminder, please bring smaller bills than a twenty - the projects cost $1.00- $2.00 most of the time and the teachers do not carry a lot of change on them - so please, bring one dollar bills.  (there will be no meeting in September).  See you there,

Christmas in July - sorta....

Well, I bet you are all sweltering in this heat.  If it helps you can think about the Christmas ornaments we will be painting this weekend.  We have several people lined up to teach a class so be there at 10 am so we can have a short meeting and get to painting.  Margaret will start with this cute ping pong ball snowman.  I will teach - something - haven't figured it out yet.  Nothing like waiting til the last minute.

I hate that I missed the seminar with Nilda last month.  I heard she was excellent.  I am including a few pics that Barbara took. 

Be sure to bring your regular painting supplies.  The teachers will supply the project and the paints.  See you there,
